To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: ' In reptrd to the much talked of letter of January b, 1838, to Governor Haker, I beg in compliance with a request bt some of my friends, to make tbe following statement of the tacts that induced me to write it. Some of the friends of Governor Baker came to me at different times, whether speaking by the authority of the Governor or not, 1 know not , and made the same proposition which is contained ia the following letter of John W. Burson Esq.: . , f " : , Batks House, January 18, 1869. LlKUTKN AST GOTEHSOB CUMBACK: Dear Sib: Your verbal request to make a statement of the proposition Governor Baker made to me in regard to the position you should have on the Siate ticket, and in connection with the Senat.rship, I make with pleasure. " , . . - , He said that he knew tha 1 1 was a friend of your s -that I had first spoken of yon as ft proper person to be President of the Senate, when he became Governor at the election of Morton to the Senate, and, knowing that I was your friend, he wished to say to me that if Cumback would retire from the contest against him for the nomination for Governor and take the aecond place, the position you now hold, or any place on the ticket, he would not be a candidate for the United States Senate before the next Legislature, buttoould use hitittfluemetto teenre your election to that ponition, and told me to see you and learn how you felt about it.

He said he would see the Governor and write me, as be was a friend of the Governor, and was in favor his nomination for Governor. He saw the Governor, and makes the following statement of the conversation he had with him: ; ! ' ' Indianapolis, January 15,1869. ; "Hok. Will Ccmback Sir: In response to your request for the purport of a conversation between myself and Governor Baker, concerning the personal relations existing between you and himself, and concerning political matters, I place in your hands the following statement: - -. "At your request I called upon Governor Baker, to ascertain his personal feelings towards jou, and to remove any embarrassment to amicable intercourse between you. This was several weeks before the Republican State Convention, held in this city last winter, t .. ... "The purport of this conversation was, that there had seemed to be a want of frankness and cordiality somewhere, and that the feelings of the Governor were ever kind and friendly toward you, and an assurance that there was no reason why vou might not approach him with entire freedom and frankness as personal and political friends. I alluded to jour Senatorial aspirations and the Governor replied that he was not a candidate for that position, and that he . much preferred to be Governor of Indiana to L nited States Senator. With these assurances that you mieht approacn him cordially as a personal and political friend I wrote to vou to that effect. " "Respectfully, C. N. Simms." - The letter referred to in the above statement, from Rev. C. ST. Simms to me, I received on the 4th of January, 1868, two days before I wrote the letter to the Governor, about which so much has been said.

The dealers thus make eighty-five gallons of, imitation whisk3' out of forty gallons of common stutf. The recipe should warn all per sons against the use of such poisonous beverages. - The increase in the public debt during 4 the year 186S was about $30,000,000. j This is rather an unpleasant showing,! but, taking a Mark Tapley view ot t!ie situation, we can derive the slight cony solation that the debt as it now exists is so prodigious that, even at the present rate of increase, it will take eighty years to double it. Chicago Times. The Democratic press of the couutry ought to know by this time that there is no capital in such balderdash. It is untrue that there has been an increase in the public debt.

"Iris reporter that a contract to iron the road has hof-n concluded beta'een Mi. I'arry, tiio President of the road, and the C. C. 4 I. C. Railroad, no leased for ninetr-nina years to the Mew York tk Erie Kail road Co., which contract, the latter Company, in all probability, will carry out instead of the former. Its terms are understood to be that when local solvent subscriptions enough $500,000 is the minimum sum named to prade, tie,' and lay the iron rails on the entire line shall hare been made, the iron (or the entire line wiirbe furnished by Section in exchange for the mortgage bonds of tbe O. R. A Ft, W. Kailroad Co. " The work will be commenced at Kichmond and pushed northward with all the dispatch possible. The lirst section ends at Winchester, the second at Portland, the third at Decatur, and the la.st at Ft. Wayne. The raising of the $5(10,000 is all that now intervenes to prevent the commencement of the work at once. The amount has been apportioned amongst the counties interested, so that Jay County is only required to raise $60,000 a sum so spall that tweutyfive cents on the acre of the land in the connty will more than make it. But as many of the townhipsare so remotely situated that their interest in the project is quite limited, those immediately adjacent to tbe road must bear much more than an eLual division of the amount with the entire county. There being no office of the Company at Portland or in the county interested directly in the Portland route, to take charge of and give direction to the work here, the people have constituted a committee to take control. This committee has been very actively eDgaged in preparing the work for a thorough and vigorous canvass, and have now got the work started. They have apportioned tbe couuty quota amongst the townships interested, so that Pike is required to raise $12,500, Wayne $15,000, Bearcreek $15,000, Jackson $3,000, Green $2,500, Jeflerson $2,000, Madison $1,000, Noble $2,000, Wabash $2,000 and the Corporation of Portland $5,000. This apportionment if met by all, makes the tilling of our quota a very easy thing. No man need do violence to his circumstances. But all should lend a hand. The Company cannot locate their route until all is made up, nor can work begin, until it is known that means have been secured to pay for it when dene. This is all they sk,"Pay us when the road is completed not before." They cannot wait lonz to have this secured, and in default wlil soon abandon our line and adopt one where this a- ' mount will be secured to tbeui promptly. Krery : man should ask himself this question, "'What can I j give toward the quota of of my county rather than j not have the road?" and having decided, he should j promptly report himself to the nearest solicitor with ' a liberal subscription. Jay county ougUt to be aoie to rase four times the amount required of it. Even at such a cost it will be the best Investment the people ever made orcan possibly make. Timber land now is a drng at U10 per acre; with this road the timber alone is worth $25, and can be turned into money at will. Tlu subscriptions in Allen, Adams, Wayne aud Randolph are made, or so nearly so, as to render tbe making secure. Everything depends upon Jay county. If the people will but subscribe liberaily and promptly, all will be well., If they do not, the road fails, and a sea of interminable mud, bottomless roads, no market, no influx of immigration and capital, and no correspondingdevelopemeut of tlie wealth and prosperity of the county will be the negative results as fruits mete for such people and such a short sighted .economy. Let every man feel himself directly interested in filling the quota of his townsihp at anear.y day, and on Saturdav. the 16th inst. let all attend the frenera! meeting at Portland to receive reports of progress and j take a note of the prospects. The meeiiug will con- ' veue at Z P. M. Jay Co. Republican. f By the above, it will be seen that a meeting would take place last Saturday the result of which has not yet come to hand. We find the following in the Winchester Journal of the loth: "Railroad Meeting. William Tarry, President of the Cincinnati, Richmond and Fort Wayne Railroad, was in town vesterday. A little impromptu meeting was called at 3 o'clock P. M., in the interest of the road, and a statement given of the condition and pros pect of the project. We believe it was satisfactory to our people. Solicitors were appointed, consisting of Coined II. II. Neff. I. P. Watts, Esq., and Colonel A. J. Neff. The two first being prest nt, they went to taking stock, and, we be lieve, during the evening, between two and three thousand dollars were taken, we urge every man to do something, athe quota is 20,000 for the county. A contract has been executed by Mr. Smith of the Central Road, to furnish the it on in twenty days notice, 80 soon, as the amount of conditional stock is raised to make the track ready for the iron. Allen and Adams have done their part; Wayne is now taking her amount, and will be clear in a few days; Jay is nt work, but we fear are not well united; Randolph can have her quota, in two weeks if all will do their duty." The following extracts from a letter from Irvin Rekd, E3d., one of the Di rectors of the.; Road, dated Richmond, Jan. 8, 18G9, explains itself: i - ! Inr unri frt nnn l u rr ta (hot Arlim s County provides for her full quoto on mis estimate, ami tnat Alien uas prom-, f ised hers. It only remains for you to get S20.000 more if I am correct in my understanding of the case. Jay is not f specially reported, hut her reprcsenta-j ives say she will do Jier .part. ; We estimate the quota of Randolph County at $70,000 in all, and $50,000 oi l this sum lifts already been obtained. Urge J'otir readers and everybody elso to ! go in, and let us close this important enterprise now or forever after cease to talk of doing any thing in this way. President Parry reports S 100: 000 deficient to complete the grade, lie, ballast, bridges, and make all ready for the iron, and lay it down. . The committee of the City Council propose to take 820,000 of this sum, if 810,000 ia taken by individuals outside, as our portion for Wayne County, which will leave 870,000 for tho four counties above say S25.O00 jor Allen, 825,000 for Adams, 820,000 for Raudolph and this can be done without doubt. This estimate embraces a discount on bonds and ten per cent, for contingencies. President Parry says he is going to make the road. We all say tbe same and if your people make the same resolve we will soon commence the work. Mr. De Graff was here yesterday, and he says he will be ready to begin worW in three weeks, or sooner if necessary. We decided to send out solicitors at once to procure our deficiency, and expect to have it in' three weeks. - Your folks can agree to take bridge timber and ties on the best terms practicable when you can not get money. Mr. Smith of the C. C. and I. C. Railroad proposes to furnish the iron between Richmond and Winchester when ready to lay it down, on condition that we have stock enough to complete the road to Fort Wayne. His proposition we consider reliable, and we have it in writing. He also agrees to furnish freight construction trains and move the iron and ties. The iron is to be delivered at Richmond and Winchester on twenty days notice." Hon. H. D. Washburn, we see it stated, is a candidate for clerk of the House in the next Congress. Mr. Mcpherson, the present occupant of the Clerkshjp, has had the place six years, and has grown rich off the fruits of his oflice. Lafayette is making a strong effort to secure the location of the Agricultural College at or near that city.

Hon., Henry S, Lane, and : laid great claims to consistency for so doing; but we are at iloss to discover how he pro- , poses to escape the dilemma-he has! now got into by voting for ' "cousin", j Congressman George, as against Lt. Gov. Cumback. ' His beloved relative is, we think, quite as obnoxious to the State Constitutional Ineligible clause, as is Mr. Cumback, for is he not just as clearly holding an office given : him by the people of the old 'Burnt, as Mr. C is holding one given him by the peo pie of the State of Indiana? Mr. Cumback, was run on the same ticket with our ever-distinguished M. C, yet the M ajor, votes for the latter without hes. itation, notwithstanding the formct ,was nominated by a caucus of the Republican party? We have only one mode of working out a square situation for our State Senator, and we arrive at it tbusiy : As his greatest earthly desire is to be considered eminently consistent, he is convinced that John S. Reid did. actually and veritably, defeat "eons'in" George at the late election, and hence, by casting his vote for him. be is wholly justified, and the State Constitutional provision obstacle is removed completely and entirely from his pathway ! We do no Hmom that the Major has come to this conclusion ; but is it not a reasonable one ? 'We be lieve it is; for he would never, nof never, cast his vote for any man whilst holding a State Ofkice for a seat in the United I States Senate no, indeed ! ' The Mayor's tergiversation experience as a legislator, proves that he is a gelogical specimen that should be laid away on the highest shelf in: .Wayne County. - Wc reccollect the virtuous indignation the Major manifested, because certain gentlemen "bolted" the nomination of "cousin" George at the October election; but his legislative action indicates that his memorv is short, and we merely remind him of it.

There have been some seven or eight cases of Small-pox at Middletown, two of which have proved fatal ; Mr. Bejararn Bristol, an aged man, and a son of Mr. Joseph Mowrer, aged about eight years, having died on Sunday morning. The others are either well or doing well. : Every precaution is used to prevent the further spread of the rcaladjv Still the effect on the business of the place is very damaging, through, we believe, the cases have been entirely confined to three houses.

PIiAm TAME To Invalids and the Public: V il ' z', f P JiMth . -. 't . Dr. A. M. French. fonneily;of Jlew Yorb City, respectfully announces that he ha isuined practice, and will,' for man' years to co?ne, visit monthly nearly all of the principal citieti of tbe. Union at stated period lor treatment ot 411 forms of chronic duteaseJ Having just returned from Europe where he has for the pant tkh tears been devoting hia time exclusively to tbe treatment of patient in the principal hospitals in France, England and Germany, he can assure tbe afflicted that in al! chrouic diseases he can safely be relied upon. Among the chronic ailments which he cares he would mention the following.' - - ' All diseases of the Liver, usually called l iver Complaint, all affections of the Lung, such as Oonsuinptton,.Oonghs, Bronchitis. Loss of Voice, Sore Throat, Asthma, etc., etc ; Dyspepsia, or Sourness of the Stomach after meals, Mpitting up of Food, Belching of Wind, Constipation of the Bowels, Sick Headache, Neuralgia in every form, all affections of the Kidneys and Bladder, Rheumatism, Dropsies. Palpitation of the Heart, Epilepsy or Fits, Scrofula, all diseases of tho Blood, Eruptions, Salt Bheutn, Genei'l Debility, Nervousness, and all diseases peculiar to the remaie system. - - - ' ' , - , ,. Having, as above stated, made all the ' above and their kindred complaints a long lile study. and Having seen, personally examined and treated successfully band reds of cases afflicted with each variety of these diseases, Dr. French feels confident that in offering his services to the af flicted world in this war, he is simply acting in the line of duty. He has no desire to be anything less than stbicti.t, uouobablk with all who may seek his aid, and will therefore still adhere to the rule he adopted in early life, never to flatter the sick and inspire hopes of recov cry, unless the case admits of no doubt in that respect. Many cases being isccrablk, and as be does not wish to pnt any of this class to expense, he has devised a way in which his opinmb may be obtained free of charge. ! The particulars in regard to this will be given under thehead of "Waste of Time.' All persons who may think of consulting Dr. French, should read this whole column before calling on him personalfy; or making op their rninds what i best for tbewr to do. The sick are so often disappointed in their search for means of relief so often flattered , by the dishonest and inspired with hopes that were never realized that it is not a matter of wonder that they have in many instances grown sick at heart and yielded to despair. Dr. French will deal honorably with all, believing that always to be the best policy. His fees for treatment will be reasonable,, and not be required from any patient until a cure is effected, and bis charge for medicines will bo only wnat they cost xura. His appointments are as follows: iJEW YORK CITY, th first day of each month. PHILADELPHIA, PEN the second day of each month. BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, tbe third day of each month. . , , . . . WASHINGTON, D. C, tbe 'fourth day oeach month. PITTSBURGH, PENN the sisth day of each montl. CLEVELAND. OHIO. th seventh day of each month. COLUMBUS. OHIO, the eighth day of eack month. - -.:. --: . ; CINCINNATI, OHIO, the ninth day of each month, i - . K LOUISVILLE. KY., the eleventh day of each month. .--, - 1 ! ST. LOUIS, MO., the thirteenth day ofeaeh moatfe. DUBUQUE, IOWA, the fifteenth day of eachmonth, t i . ; - - 1 t -. -r CHICAGO, ILL th seventeen 4b day of each month. MILWAUKEE, WIS., the eighteenth day of each month. T DETROIT, MICHIGAN, the twentieth day of eaeh month. - TORONTO, C. W., the twenty-third day of each month. BUFFALO, N. Yn on the ttventy-sixt1 day of each month.' : : . OTThe names of the hotels at which Dr. French will stop while visiting the foregoing cities have not been inserted because he must necessarily ehange them from time - to time. Tbe omission is unimportant, however, as all patients are required to write him aletter before) coming to see him and in bis reply the name of the Hotel will be given. See the article below headed 'Waste of Tiroe.'J : V Dr. F.'s object in making the foregoing visits is to afford all parson3 a less expensive means of treatment than if they -were compelled to travel many hundreds of miles for that purpose. WASTE OF TIME. There are only about thbre-fikths of the cases of chronic disease that admit of positivb and radical COBB. One-half of the incurable! can be, under favorable circumstances, much benefitted, and the other half only palliated.. 1 am willing to treat any case and do . what I can for it, but it so happens that a very largo number of those patients whose complaints cannot be wholly eradicated do not wish to undergo treatment. Now as my time at each point I 1. visit is all needed in examining and treating the

w

curable cases 11 wouia ne a waste ot time for me to bestow my attention upon those whom I cannot cure. . . , To avoid this, and save the patient all unnecessary trouble and expense, all are required to write to me and await my answer before calling on me at any of the places I visit. Each per son so doing, must answer the following questions: What is your height, weight and age? How long have you been sick if Are you of temperate habits? What do physicians call your disease? : Are your bowels usually costive or otherwise? Is your complaint hereditary that is, have any other members of yonr family so far back as you can trace been afflicted in the same manner as you? Uas emaciation (loss of flesh) been gradually going on since you beca.i.e aware of your present complaint? What is the condition of. your mind?. Are your thoughts and emotions generally of a dreary nature or the contrary ? Have you pains of any kind? If so, give their location, character, and degree of intensity as nearly as you can and the length of time yon have had them. - A plain answer to the loregoing questions will enable me to determine at once whether the case is a curable one. AH letters may be addressed to CLEVfc LAND, O, as I have an agent there who will forward letters regularly by ire.NS, wherever I may be, so that they will never he delayed beyond a day or two on any occasion. As soon as a letter comes to band, I will take the case into consideration, and in my reply give my opinion of it and the name of tho Hotel at which I may be found in the city nearest you which I visit. ' All correspondents must enclose a pott' paid envelope addressed to themselves. Direct all letters as follows : DR. A. M. FRENCH, 8 Care Lock Box 290, Cleveland, C
